Selected participants will attend monthly meetings held from August through April, visiting different schools in the district and gaining insight into topics such as business operations, academic programming, student services, and school safety.
“HSEngaged has proven to be an invaluable opportunity for community members to better understand how our district operates and how decisions are made,” Director of School and Community Relations Emily Pace Abbotts said. “We look forward to welcoming another great group this year.”
Applications are open now through 5 p.m. Monday, July 7. Space is limited. All applicants will be notified of their status by July 31.
